Principal Byrd

Hi everyone this is Principal Byrd! Today has been such a great day for me to experience the life of an important school leader or role model in one day. My favorite part so far was going to all the the different classrooms and seeing what all the kids do, from a teacher's perspective. Next up I have lunch with my friends! For lunch I had Jimmy John's and cookies - it was all good until they forgot one sandwich and of course it was mine! Other than that it was a great lunch. After that I taught my first class to the kindergarteners and it was a blast, we had so much fun making Valentines day cards.

Conversaciones EspaƱolas


Last week I was happy to observe the 7th grade Clase de Espanol while they were performing the Spanish conversations that they have been working on. This year our students have been working very hard in Spanish class, as they have both a new teacher and a new series to become accustomed to. If their conversations are any indication, their hard work has certainly paid off! In addition to vocabulary and verb conjugations, Senora Mangialardi is teaching her students dialect, inferences and cultural awareness. Our students are working hard and getting a very comprehensive exposure to the Spanish language. Attached are pictures and two video samples of the convos that our 7th graders have been working on ... disfrute de!
